The Godly Coup

Vaksavar had remained in the corner for about an hour now, watching helplessly as the Voidlord smashed through the room, destroying everything in sight. Lord Kenon had been in a foul rage for a long time, seething with anger yet not actually informing his loyal subjects what the problem was. Multiple Rethan soldiers and guards … Read more

“Retvik!” The weird, tall, gangling Rethavok-like being with blue and silver armour charged over to where Retvik and Rethais were standing, wrapping his arms around Retvik and hugging him tightly. It took a moment to realize who this being was. It also took a moment for them both to realise where they were, standing just … Read more

While most of the village was still in one piece after what had appeared to have been a massive, midnight explosion, the church in the centre of the village had essentially ceased to exist and was currently nothing more than a smoldering pile of rubble. In fact, the explosion had been so loud that most … Read more

Rethais sighed as he desperately tried to find a way to occupy himself. He had spent much of the past few days confined to an over-sized bed in an old Banikan tent-house, in a small Banikan village on a planet filled with large monsters and Banikans that hunted said monsters. There was very little modern … Read more

Just as Ksiel thought he was about to finally get off this accursed planet, he just had to get stopped by a bunch of renegade Rethavok, all panting and desperate and spouting all sorts of nonsense. Ksiel and was the last of the Skyan ambassadors to the Rethan home world, having been working from a … Read more

Lysar sighed as she watched yet another patrol walk by in the distance. While Lysar and her group of similarly free-minded Rethans had somehow managed to tiptoe their way out of Thre-Vretania and towards the port city of Thre-Sypria, walking down narrow train tunnels, their journey to freedom had come to an abrupt halt as … Read more

Ver’s little Vrekan heart began to pound as he realized he was not alone in his bedroom. The doors had been closed, the room had been swept, the guards had been patrolling yet somehow there was something in there with Ver. Something was sharing a room with the Vrekan king while he was in his … Read more

“They finally convinced you to get some rest, eh?” Rethais sat up from bed, as his brother Retvik stood in the abnormally large doorway. He wasn’t sure how long he had been sleeping for, but it was dark outside, faint moonbeams shining in from a gap in the bamboo window blinds. All things considered, Retvik … Read more

Rethais sat quietly as he watched the sun set behind a vast forest of trees, some of them leafless and dead, others covered in fresh, green needles. In the distance, a body of water could be seen, but there was no life around it, no boats, no lights, no houses, a river emptying out into … Read more

“Hm, antlers or no antlers?” “Why are you asking me, Lord Kenon?” Kenon turned from the mirror, his eyes scanning the elegantly decorated room, until he was met with the Rethan chained up in the corner. Vaksavar, formerly one of the most powerful Rethavok alive, sat awkwardly on the ground, not understanding why he was … Read more

“Are you alright?” Rethais gasped as Retvik hurriedly slammed the door behind them, his claws struggling with the lock, before collapsing against the nearby wall. “Not really, no. You were not shot again, were you?” Rethais checked himself quickly. There were a couple of small grazes on his side from brushing against old, sharp walls, … Read more

“We have a massive problem…” King Ver stood at his desk, addressing a series of screens. Normally he would arrange meetings in person with the leaders of the other members of the Reth-Vrekan Union, but considering what had just happened with the Reth- part of said union, Ver really didn’t want anyone to be traveling … Read more

Lysar held her breath, watching anxiously behind the shelves as a couple of armed Rethans marched past her then exited the store. She wasn’t sure how long she had been hiding there, but the number of soldiers that had marched in then out again was at least starting to dwindle. Not that it mattered, all … Read more

“I believe we are in the clear, at least for now…” Underneath the vast buildings that made up the cornerstone of Rethan society, there were a vast number of tunnels and sewers, designed to provide shelter and safety in case of emergencies. Despite all that had happened though in the last few hours, the majority … Read more

Kenon smiled as he watched Rethans pour into the city below. It had only been a few mere hours since he had taken control of this race, but everything was going swimmingly. Sure, there had been a couple of distractions, what with a few Rethavok dying and a few Rethavok not dying, but Kenon’s plan … Read more
